I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Imprivata (Santa Cruz, CA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Misleading job descriptions but fairly straight forward easy interview. No coding questions! No detailed questions about previous systems or architectures experience ! I applied 2 different times for a role in Santa Cruz separated by 2 years. Each time the role looked promising as the platform involves microservice design and a modern OO stack which is my area of expertise. I answered most of the questions without much trouble. However they focused on Linux system level socket programming. As a developer that spends more time writing OO code/tests (scala, java) and design/implementation of business service code (mongo, cassandra, mysql...) I was not able to answer these questions in a clear enough fashion.
I had an interview at school then went onsite for two rounds. Everyone I got to meet was nice. It was a typical technical interview process, some behavioral and some technical.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Imprivata (Boston, MA) in Apr 2019
Interview
Applied online, the recruiter of the company coordinated the phone interview. The response of my application was quick; the interviewer was very nice. If fully prepared and have enough working experience, then the inter view should be hard.
